WEB CAM: Seven Deadly Sins - Jackson NAMM Project

[Head Roller]

Mike began a really neat project yesterday with the first of his Seven Deadly Sins Guitars: Lust.

I wonder why he started with this one??

This series of guitars will be debuted at the 2009 Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim. Should be a fun thing to watch on the Cam!!

[shane]

lust is a sin?? hahaha she is hot mike nice job!:notworthy

[painterguy]

lol probably woulda started with that one too !!
wicked cool!! makes me wanna rip my ol axe apart for a re do !!

[auz10]

Yep no complaints here! Good one to kick things off with and damn its looking good!

[Cameron Arts]

Awesome concept for a series. Absolutely fantastic start, Mike. (Thanks for the pic, Di.)

[bleeds]

That's sexsational...oops...I mean...sensational... Freudian slip there....
'Can't wait to see the other sin guitars (is that a sin to want to see the sins?). Pride, envy, gluttony, anger, greed & sloth on the way...
Several of these should be REAL interesting... hmmmm.....
:23b:

[Hotch]

Nice boobs on that NUN !?! She must belong to the order of Our Lady of Perpetual Lactation.

I hope you don't believe in hell son. God don't take kindly to people paintin' the sista's as hotties.

[Steve Leahy]

She must belong to the order of Our Lady of Perpetual Lactation.


roflmao

[Karman Fairless]

Awesome as always Mike... What a cool theme, Have fun with it...
KK

[Annie]

So thats why I saw boobies on the webcam last night... :lmao:

Awesome start Mike! Can't wait to see all of the guitars. Such a cool concept!
Nice work. Thanks for posting Di!

Annie :)

[Head Roller]

Here is a progress picture.... the camera battery died so I have to charge it a bit before I can take any final pics..


OOPS!

[Annie]

Wow! Beautiful.

By the way Mike, Eric likes that one a lot! :bigeyes:

Annie :D

[bpdrawing]

Looks great love the colors, its really going to jump once the finall details come in and the clear goes on

[Messy Ventura]

Just thinkin about where yer finger tips could be when ya grab the whammy bar (heehee) Nice " touch" Mike. Beautifully done.

[rowie]

As has already been said many times, what a brilliant concept to work on.

AND WHAT A WAY TO COME OUT FIGHTING!

Looks like "The Terminator v's The Boobinator", hehe!

With this awesome piece of work as a starter I can't wait to see the rest of your ideas brother.

[russ63]

fantastic work, can,t wait to see the rest,,, i must say again this is a great site

[Freeborn Man]

Killer as always man! Looks like you are having fun with that one.

Hey Steve! Quit staring at the boobs man, you're stuttering when you type LOL :wave: :beerchug:

[artomotive]

HHHUUUUGGGGEEE Tracks of Land!!! Very nice work as always

[DiegoND]

OK they are Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, Pride

I like lust one but now come Gluttony I cant imagine a fat ass on a guitar.

[Loveless]

awesome stuff Mike!!! nice ta-tas

[mikesmoke]

I can't wait for wrath!

[Head Roller]

Here are the final pics of LUST. They will get a coat of clear and photos against black before leaving, but we do that in batches.

Next up: Gluttony

[chromewarrior555]

[SIZE="3"][/SIZE Unbelievable! Damn Mike, just the first picture was awesome enough. Then you colored it. Lol. I love it, and not just because of the boobs. Can I ask who you used for reference? Or is she right out of you head?

[bleeds]

Most excellent...shwennnnng...
I was wondering what you might come up with for gluttony? 'Can't wait (but will have to). 'Sure is fun watching you create on the webcam.
GLUTTONY as defined by Webster: 1) excess in eating or drinking 2) greedy or excessive indulgence
Thanks!
:85:

[auz10]

Damn! That's one fine looking guitar! Great job Mike.

[Palepainter]

Thanks everyone. Some of these concepts will be a bit strange to convey in a visual. HEHEHE.... I'll come up with something. I need to put myself in a Daliesque mode. Todays topic is Gluttony. Enjoy....

[CustomG-Rafix]

WOW!! I'd like to hang with you for a day or two...

I didn't notice the skull, did anybody else see the skull at first glane? I didn't know there was a skull in there.... that's.... aw......some. LOL yes... it's thats good!

[Head Roller]

Gluttony.... In Process..

[air conan]

awesome stuff mike...
man your white work always blows me away. and the way you nail the core shadowing....thanks for sharing.
peace

[Annie]

Wow cool!!!!
Thats such a great way to represent gluttony. Awesome concept!
Like Gary said, your white work is so impressive. The way you capture the ligh is mindblowing!

Annie :biggthump

[Palepainter]

Sometimes the toughest thing to do is to throw color on it after the white comes out the way you like it. I feel the pain my students do as well at times getting to a point of accomplisment an then risk losing the strength of the piece at this phase.

[Annie]

Well said Mike. I always feel that after all that hard work, after the first shot of color, I messed it all up! Happens everytime.

[grizzly]

great concept for a series....i would love to see a "how to" on those skin tones on lust...so soft and smooth

[c-cab23]

all i can say is...WOW........those are awesome Mike.......as expected
Bob :hockey:

[shane]

he looks cool, kinda has a jaba the hut look to it! hope hes going to be green!:You_Rock_

[shane]

i just realized he also looks like barney franks! the slob who created the mortgage melt down! :76::76::76::76:

[grizzly]

lol, shane that is too funny

[markart1]

Lookin' very cool Mike. I have to agree with the gang that seeing your white underpainting is a big help to us in understanding your working method. Please keep us posted on this series. Thanks, Mark.

[sherrif]

Great job Mike, as always

[DiegoND]

Is there a collage of the pics from this project anywhere?

[Head Roller]

i will do something like that when he is done.. right now he is only 1.65 guitars into the 7...
:)

[DiegoND]

Wow 1.65 exactly. I knew you are analytical but really 1.65?

[Head Roller]

Gluttony ....
Front done, back in process...


Who wants to place bets that Mike will find a way to have naked breasts in all 7 sins?

[Annie]

Can we bet MOJO buck$???? :em0100:

Awesome work Mike!
With all those boobies, Eric is actually thinking of starting to play guitar... I'm not sure he'd be playing music, but he would definatly play with the guitar... lol

[CustomG-Rafix]

That would be tits automatic...

[russ63]

so very cool,,

[Head Roller]

Here is the back of gluttony... nearly completed.

[norgy]

Damn that thing is cool...whatever it is...haha.

[Head Roller]

Here are some pictures of GLUTTONY before clear batch...

[shane]

[Karman Fairless]

KK

[cyril42]

waouw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

very very very very nice job mike

[jeffw]

very cool..... i would be disapointed if there where not bewbies in all the sins. :D

[Malorie]

These are great Mike. Always amazing to see how quickly you can develope ideas and bring them to life. I love the intestinal mouth. Looks like this guy's got a little heartburn. ;)

I think sloth and envy are going to be difficult to convey. Should be fun to see what you come up with.

Great work as usual Mike.

[JDOG]

wow, nice work Mike. I like the nun alot. her face came out awesome!

[bleeds]

She had a face?
:81:

[rowie]

Who wants to place bets that Mike will find a way to have naked breasts in all 7 sins?

And the point of putting money on a sure thing would be? ;)

[Head Roller]

Here is SLOTH in progress.....

[auz10]

Looks awesome Mike! Now I see were your getting your reference shots from! LOL

[shane]

o man nice work dude! you have put on some weight since i last saw ya man!:yes:

[Head Roller]

[Steve Leahy]

Awesome Miguel!

[Annie]

Awesome Mike!

[Palepainter]

[Head Roller]

Here is an end of the day shot.... tomorrow is going to be fun... I saw the sketch! ahahhahaha.

[mikesmoke]

the mastery just keeps coming ...awesome mike!

[bpdrawing]

Great job Mike, It's amazing to me how you can do all that great work in such little amount of time.

[auz10]

Great Job Mike, love the incorporation of Sloth on the cup.

[DiegoND]

I think Ive been to that restaurant... Sloth that is.

[Iamedogg]

I have to ask. I know this one is called Sloth, but that looks like Gluttony?

Sloth - More than other sins, the definition of sloth has changed considerably since its original inclusion among the seven deadly sins. In fact it was first called the sin of sadness or despair.

You all know we love your design, I just was not able to link the sin with the pic so I had to look that up...

Your fat dudes rock. If an image is done with all of these guitars together, I would love to buy a print!

Watching the web cam. You are SICK Mike!!

[Iamedogg]

Sorry I found Gluttony. NICE!

[Head Roller]

Here is a start of the backside of SLOTH:

[anderekel]

And he found a way to get boobs into the guitar.....hehe Lookin' great Mike.

[Karman Fairless]

love your style...great looking sin there fella,...
KK

[Annie]

And let there be Boobies!!! hahaha

Awesome work Mike. I love the back side. What a fat bastard... LOL
This collection of guitars is so cool!

Annie :)

[Immortal Concepts]

sloth looks just like me lol

on a side note, have you ever thought of adding some sort of delay on the web cam so its smooth instead of glitches? it gets nauseating after awhile when you're watching sometimes.

[Head Roller]

Here is a final of SLOTH back before clear:

[Annie]

Eeeewwww the toilet is overflowing.... he's too lazy to flush it????

Awesome work. Gotta go try to find some other details I'm sure I have missed!

Thanks for posting Di!

Annie :)

[CustomG-Rafix]

That's the shit.... cooool

[Palepainter]

It is pretty dam disgusting. HHEHE.

[c-cab23]

what a fat slob........looks good Mike......
Bob :hockey:

[anderekel]

EEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!! :puke:

[norgy]

awfully good stuff as usual... and somewhat disgustingly good too..:)

[shane]

looks like some one had to much soup! :turned:

[auz10]

Great job Mike! I was wondering how you would get boobs in this one, nice touch. hehehe

[foundrymutt]

Why do I get the damndest feeling that somehow, or someway that the government helped influence this piece?

[jbaker002]

that's just nasty....I think i had that guy in my dorm when worked at the university....ewwww thanks for the memories

[Steve Leahy]

....It's just a wafer thin........

[Head Roller]

We shipped out the first batch of these today.. the guys in the Custom Shop are anxious to get them built and ready for NAMM....

Here are some shots in their case with a protective layer of clear. They get cleared again and buffed out at the Custom Shop.

Enjoy!!

[auz10]

Wicked! Three down four more to go. Cant wait to see what you have planned Mike!

[DiegoND]

They are all looking better than any guitar I have ever seen.

[Head Roller]

GREED: On the cam today!!

[Annie]

OOOoooooooo Another kick ass one. I can't believe how fast you paint them and they are all so different from one another, yet they all fit together.

So cool Mike!
You rock!!!

Annie :)

[Head Roller]

Here are a few more shots for you...

[Annie]

Hey.... where are the boobies? Or am I missing something?
:lmao:

[Immortal Concepts]

yeah i was looking for em too lol, i thought for sure one of the coins had one on em but i can't find one anywhere. keep noticing new stuff each time i look like the cauldrons have pig faces on em

[shane]

Hey.... where are the boobies? Or am I missing something?
:lmao:

that kinda turned me on annie! :devil:awesome colors mike, is it mint green with sunshine yellow?

[rowie]

OOOoooooooo Another kick ass one. I can't believe how fast you paint them and they are all so different from one another, yet they all fit together.

So cool Mike!
You rock!!!

Annie :)

I must agree whole heartedly, Mike these are amazing brother, I don't know what else to say that either hasn't already been said or convey what I feel emotionally each time I look at this project.

[Palepainter]

Thank you all...... I appreciate the feedback. It is a very challenging project. But going well so far. I am going to fit the boobies in very subliminal. HEHEHE.

[Malorie]

You've got to be able to put them amidst the fire somewhere. Boy, that sounds painful. :)

Nice job Mike.

[bakerboyz]

Wow Mike crazy stuff keep em comin.

[yoda]

These concepts make one think that Mike's artistic mind travels on a different plane than most! Phenominal work

[Head Roller]

WRATH is on the Cam Today!!

[Cameron Arts]

Pardon my French, but HOLY SHIT, THAT'S SICK!!!

[chromewarrior555]

Awesome work Mike. Unbelievable. Wow Annie! Never though I'd hear a woman askin where's da boobs? Well let me put it this way, not you. Hahahahah. Keep the eye candy coming Mike.

[Dave W]

Ohhhhh, gotta have that one!

How much research/background/sketching have you done on this series? If ya say yer just 'wingin' it'...we're gonna smack ya!

dave

[dubie]

Pardon my French, but HOLY SHIT, THAT'S SICK!!!


Your french is PERFECT Marge!!!! Mike, you are pullin out all the stops on these ones. I hope to be able to make it to Edmonton for your next Canadian class

[Palepainter]

Thank you guys!! Dave, I will photo my sketch for you. It is about 15 seconds worth of pencil work. HAHAHAHA So go ahead and smack me. :) I find my artwork much more interesting to my self if I do not lock my ideas down and get rid of creating on the fly. Allowing the image to come together and become something I had not predicted to some extent.

Thanks again guys. Lots of guitar stuff coming up the next few weeks.

[Annie]

Wow Annie! Never though I'd hear a woman askin where's da boobs? Well let me put it this way, not you. Hahahahah.

Well Don...wasn't thee a bet going on that Mike would fit boobies in every guitar? I'm looking out for my money! ;)

[Head Roller]

Here is a finished picture of the front... this guitar is SO HARD to photograph for some reason...

[grizzly]

very cool stuff mike

[shane]

its kinda sad that girl lost her eyeball like that, but o well it makes for a cool painting! :3b:

[CustomG-Rafix]

[Head Roller]

Backside of WRATH underway........

[CustomG-Rafix]

Wish i could just blink my eyes, and have half the talent you got man! Great stuff.

[Palepainter]

I have been pretty dedicated to the use of knockers on the series.

[rowie]

For want of a better word or phrase!

"THAT IS FULLY SICK BRO!" "FULLY BLOODY SICK!"

[Head Roller]

UPDATE:

[Annie]

Woah! Wouldn't want to mess with that chick.
Beautiful Mike! Scary too!!!

[Head Roller]

They will need to be dispayed on a revolvind support. The guy who bought the collection is one lucky guy!

Hurray for more guitars!!!!

Annie :3:

[Iamedogg]

dave

[mikesmoke]

Hey cool "Oscar" got boobs..sneaky Mike......awesome as always

[Palepainter]

What a great series. Add 5 more and you have a cool calendar

What's the backstory on the Pride one...perhaps a little social commentary?

dave

Pride...
I based this one on the idea that the only bringing life in her light was this award. The back is another story. HEHEH

[Cameron Arts]

So awesome. These are all fantastic. So let's see the back!

[Palepainter]

I will have Di post it

[Head Roller]

PRIDE, the back

[Annie]

Hahaha Those guys are too funny!
Can't wait to see color. Way to represent Pride!

[bleeds]

OK...tell the truth...what 2 members did you models those 2 guys after...come on...fess up.... they look familiar?

[anderekel]

Well, the one on the left has to be rod with the little mohawk, so I'm guessin' the other one is leahy since he has his arm around rod, and well know how much they like each other lol :D

Awesome job mike.

[Palepainter]

HAHAHAHHA..... Any resemblance is pure coincedence. I wanted to give the impression of a father and son, in a sick twisted way. lol

[Head Roller]

Here is a series for the last 3.... they are going out today.
:)

[anderekel]

Ok, this is driving me crazy. You and Mike both said that there are boobs on greed. I can't find them, can you at least give me a hint as to where they are?

[shane]

bot i think if i was a guitar collector i would have to buy all of these!:clap:

[auz10]

Awesome Guitars Mike! I would love to own this whole series they are all masterpieces in my eyes.

[Head Roller]

Ok, this is driving me crazy. You and Mike both said that there are boobs on greed. I can't find them, can you at least give me a hint as to where they are?

OOOOO let's play "find the boobies" on Greed.

HINT: I promise they are clearly visible in one of the 2 images of greed in my last post.......

[Cameron Arts]

HA HA HA! I found 'em! Give ya a hint, Derek. Look on the back.
